Does the Tronxy XY-3 PRO 3D printer work with SimplyPrint, OctoPrint, Mainsail and Fluidd?
Each way of connecting it, what it needs, and how to set it up.
Doesn't ship with Klipper: it runs Klipper after you install it in place of its own firmware, a modification
What works with SimplyPrint
Connected through OctoPrint, SimplyPrint supports everything the Tronxy XY-3 PRO lets other software do: the camera and AI failure detection, remote printing, temperature and movement control and AutoPrint. 3 features depend on how it's set up: the table says what each needs.

What slicer to use for the Tronxy XY-3 PRO
Use Cura: it has a ready-made profile for the Tronxy XY-3 PRO.
We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the Tronxy XY-3 PRO.
Cloud-Based Slicer for Tronxy XY-3 PRO: Use Cura Online
Use Cura and other slicers - directly in your browser with SimplyPrint's online cloud slicer. No installation required. Slice your Tronxy XY-3 PRO models from any device, anywhere in the world!
Automatic Profile Updates: Profiles are automatically checked and fetched from the slicer GitHub repositories every day, as well as from our own open-source community-driven slicer profile database. This ensures you always have access to the latest profiles.
Note: Other slicers, such as Simplify3D, ideaMaker, SuperSlicer and KISSlicer, aren't in our cloud, so we don't track their profiles. They may still work well with your Tronxy XY-3 PRO: check the slicer's own documentation or forums for a profile. You can also contribute profiles to our open-source slicer profile database on GitHub.
The app for the Tronxy XY-3 PRO
SimplyPrint works as the Tronxy XY-3 PRO's app: on your phone and in any browser, with a slicer in the cloud.
There's no plate swapper or auto-ejection kit for the Tronxy XY-3 PRO in SimplyPrint yet, but AutoPrint can still keep it printing: once the plate is clear, it starts the next job from your queue.
Bed slingers are the easiest to automate
The Tronxy XY-3 PRO moves its bed back and forth, so its plate comes out to the front of the printer. That's what plate swappers like these use: they take the finished plate off and slide a fresh one on. Without a kit, a G-code routine can push cooled prints off with the toolhead.

What filament can the Tronxy XY-3 PRO print?
Filament compatibility for the Tronxy XY-3 PRO: the materials it can handle, judged from its hotend, bed, chamber and enclosure.
Filament
Suitability
Notes
PLA
Great
The easiest filament to print. Works on almost any printer; a heated bed helps adhesion but is not required.
PETG
With care
Marginal - PETG prefers a hotter bed (~70-80C) than this printer reaches.
TPU & flexibles
With care
Possible, but a Bowden extruder makes flexibles harder - print slowly and prefer firmer (higher-shore) TPU.
ABS & ASA
Not ideal
Not recommended - the bed cannot reach the ~90-110C ABS and ASA need.
Nylon (PA)
Not ideal
Not recommended - nylon needs a hotter hotend (~250-270C) and ideally an enclosure.
Polycarbonate (PC)
Not ideal
Not recommended - PC needs very high hotend temps and an enclosed chamber.
Carbon-fiber & glass-filled
With care
Possible if you fit a hardened or wear-resistant nozzle - the abrasive fibers quickly wear a stock brass nozzle.
Tip: this is a general guide from the printer's specs - always check your filament's recommended settings. With SimplyPrint you can save a profile for each spool and track exactly what filament you have in stock.
Best filament for the Tronxy XY-3 PRO
Filaments the Tronxy XY-3 PRO prints well, Tronxy's own first, then the best known.
Printers from the same maker, of a similar size, printing the same engineering materials or multi-material like it, that you can buy today. Compare up to four side by side, with their specs and how each connects.

Tronxy (Shenzhen Tronxy Technology Co., Ltd) is a Shenzhen 3D printer maker whose founder built the company's first printer in 2013. It sells low- and mid-priced FDM printers, from the X5SA and XY-3 series up to the very large VEHO line (1,000 mm and more), plus Moore clay printers, through its own store, Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, Alibaba and dealers. Buyers are hobbyists, schools and small businesses that want a large build volume for little money.
Mostly open: Marlin source on GitHub, Klipper on the newer large printers, open filament and no cloud. Documentation is thin, and firmware downloads go through an email request.
Firmware and custom firmware ●●●●●
Tronxy publishes Marlin source for its STM32/GD32 boards on GitHub (tronxy3d) under GPL-3.0, covering nearly 30 X5SA, XY, D01 and VEHO 500-800 variants, last updated February 2024. Its newer VEHO PRO and A series ship with Klipper, and it sells a Klipper upgrade kit for the X5SA.
[8][9][6][7]
Local control and integrations ●●●●●
We found no Tronxy cloud service or account. The Klipper VEHO PRO prints from a USB flash drive or over a USB data cable, Wi-Fi or Ethernet, all on your own premises, and Tronxy publishes the Marlin source for its X5SA and XY printers, which host software such as OctoPrint drives over USB.
[7][9][11]
Third-party filament, slicers and parts ●●●●●
Open filament (1.75 mm, with 2.85 mm print heads for the VEHO) and standard G-code, which any slicer produces. VEHO hotends and print heads such as the Ext06 are Tronxy's own parts.
[6][7]
Repairs and spare parts ●●●●●
Tronxy's store sells model-specific mainboards, hotends, nozzles and extruder kits for current and older lines (X5SA, XY, VEHO), including Klipper-version parts.
[6]
Community and documentation ●●●●●
Firmware source and build steps are on GitHub, and upstream Klipper ships configs for eight Tronxy models. Tronxy's own download page asks owners to email for the right firmware instead of offering it directly.
[4][8][10]
Pros
Very large build volumes for the price, up to 1,000 mm and more in the VEHO line.
Marlin source is public on GitHub, and the newer VEHO models run open-source Klipper.
No cloud or account: print over USB, memory card, Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Spare mainboards, hotends and nozzles sold for current and older models.
Cons
Firmware on Tronxy's website is by email request rather than a direct download.
Dozens of models and variants with similar names (the published firmware alone covers nearly 30), so check carefully which firmware and parts fit.
VEHO hotends and print heads are Tronxy-specific parts.
Track record
October 2022: Tronxy began publishing Marlin source for its STM32F446/GD32-based boards on GitHub (tronxy3d) under GPL-3.0; it updated it until February 2024.
[8][9]
December 2020: Tronxy launched the XY-3 SE on Kickstarter; the company says shipping finished in April 2021.

How do I connect the Tronxy XY-3 PRO to SimplyPrint?
Follow our step-by-step setup guide for the Tronxy XY-3 PRO. It shows how to connect it via OctoPrint, what you need for each, and which to pick.
What slicer should I use for the Tronxy XY-3 PRO?
We recommend Cura for the Tronxy XY-3 PRO. You can run it, and 6 other slicers, directly in SimplyPrint's online slicer - no install, on any device, with profiles for the Tronxy XY-3 PRO kept up to date automatically.
Can I use OrcaSlicer with the Tronxy XY-3 PRO?
Yes, but OrcaSlicer has no built-in profile for the Tronxy XY-3 PRO that we know of: start from a similar printer's profile and set the bed size, height and nozzle to match.
What filament can the Tronxy XY-3 PRO print?
Based on its specs (hotend up to 275C, no heated bed), the Tronxy XY-3 PRO handles PLA well. See the full filament guide above for ABS, nylon, PC and composites.
Does the Tronxy XY-3 PRO work with OctoPrint or Klipper?
The Tronxy XY-3 PRO works with OctoPrint, and SimplyPrint connects to it through them - so you get cloud access, a queue and camera monitoring on top.
What is the Tronxy XY-3 PRO's bed size and build volume?
The Tronxy XY-3 PRO has a 300 x 300 mm print bed and prints up to 400 mm tall, a build volume of about 300 x 300 x 400 mm. See the full specifications table above for bed type, temperatures and more.
Can the Tronxy XY-3 PRO eject prints automatically?
There's no kit for it that we support yet, but SimplyPrint's AutoPrint can push prints off with the toolhead, or run your own ejection G-code, and then start the next job from your queue.
Where can I buy the Tronxy XY-3 PRO?
